I plan on teaching children in the 1st or 2nd grade. I would like to specialize in Math or Social Studies if I am in a school that uses co-teaching. On the newsletter assignment, I used the following benchmark:
1 – H2.0.7 Identify the events or people celebrated during United States national holidays and why we celebrate them (e.g., Independence Day, Constitution Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day;
Presidents’ Day).
In my classroom, I would put the students into small groups, and then assign them each a holiday. I would then allow them to use their knowledge to "teach" their fellow students. I think kids that age love to teach other children, and according to the learning pyramid, children retain the most by teaching. We would then put our knowledge into a newsletter for the parents to enjoy.
